Riko was legit fresh and new as a Pokemon MC. I was lowkey excited to see how'd she become a strong Poemon battler of the same caliber as Ritchie/Paul/Tobias/Alain.
Yeah I can accept that.
But it all went into the trash when they introduced Roy.
He's literally a more boring Ash clone so what's the big deal about trashing on Ash when Roy is literally the same, also he steals screentime from the actually interesting character of Riko.
I gave this anime a chance but Roy ruined it.
I would have been okay with it if Roy had a clearly defined original personality that separated him from Ash but as it is PM2023 is literally the same as the ashnime without the iconicness now.
Roy killed any point PM2023 had on a conceptual level
